“Shooting Michael Moore” is a new movie critical of filmmaker Michael Moore. The film was put together by a schoolmate of Moore, Kevin Leffler. It now appears “We The People” are not being given the chance to see the film much less to decide for ourselves.
“It was listed, and now it’s not, and, obviously, the pressure got to them. Wow, amazing — that he [Moore] was able to move a national theater chain like that,” Leffler told reporters.

The flick was supposed to begin a one-week run in Traverse City, however, pressure put on Carmike’s Horizon Cinemas (a national chain of movie houses) by Moore and his people, has directly caused its cancellation. Moore organized a press conference to send a strong message that showing the movie would equal large numbers of Moore supporters picketing in front of every box office. It’s clear the movie chain folded under the pressure and who can blame them in these difficult times.
Moore, who is an Oscar winner for such hard hitting documentaries as Bush bashing “Fahrenheit 9/11″, “Bowling for Columbine” and the GM Motors thrashing “Rodger And Me” obviously did not like the idea of Leffler making a film about him, Leffler is a buddy of Moore from his school days.
The film must contain some steak amongst the sizzle to embolden Moore and his cronies to make such a call to arms. One Moore employee, Jeff Gibbs told reporters he thought the film went a little too far. Gibbs who was hired by Moore for “Fahrenheit” and ” Columbine” promised his own protest if the film was shown. Gibbs also knew Leffler from school.
How ironic of Michael Moore to go to these measures to stop the truth or at least a version of the truth from being told. The same man who has basically made a fortune exposing others in the very same way.
Leffler was not shy about blaming Moore for pressuring the theater to pull the film and “silencing a voice that he [Moore] did not want to come out.”
I personally have always been a big fan of Michael Moore, but now I feel his double standards are suspect at best. What is he so afraid of? what’s really in this movie that has got the unshakable, shake in his boots? Now I want to see this movie more than ever.

It’s inauguration time. Where’s Michael Moore?
SHOOTING MICHAEL MOORE, the movie, is alive and well.
My name is Jerry Johansen. When you see the movie, and I do mean “when”, you will see my name in the credits as one of the sponsors.
Kevin Leffler is working with a Hollywood producer and is in the last phases of getting the movie out. I will not say who or where, because if Michael Moore finds out, he will do whatever he can to stop it and we don’t need the headache.
However, we have premiered the movie in several parts of the country, including a large and predominantely cuban city in Florida. In “Sicko”, MM portrays a Cuba with free and wonderful Healthcare. Cuban’s have known and lived with Castro’s impoverished health care system for decades. Only politicians and high military ranks get such care….which is in ONE hospital on ONE floor.
We went into Cuba and actually filmed, first hand, an attempt by a typical citizen to get into the very same hospital the Michael Moore takes his American friends to. Of course, there is NO WAY our man gets in.
Then, we went and filmed the real hospitals that cuba citizens have to deal with. It is worse than any third-world country you could imagine. It includes several interviews, a cuban physician in particular, describing the Real Cuban Health Care System. When you see it, you will understand immediately why Michael Moore doesn’t what ANYONE to see this movie.
In case you were wondering, going to Cuba, filming, interviewing and getting out of the country was done at significant personal risk. What you will see is not someone in the US just talking about it…we were there and filmed it.
Other impressions at other viewings of this film has been the same. We fill the theater, nobody decides to leave during the entire movie, and many other-wise Michael Moore lovers are both shocked and appalled…..and entertained. All the information, interviews, and footage is fully verifiable.
MM has been at his tactics for a while. After you see our interviews with the same people MM interviewed, you be the judge as to whether their judgements about MM are right or wrong.
Kevin Leffler finds other guys like him, who grew up with Michael Moore, and are not the LEAST bit surprised that he is such a decetful man.
And, it really is too bad. Most people put together that MM could have done truly good and entertaining expose’s without being so underhanded. He did not need to screw over so many people for his own personal gain.
It is both unbelievable and unethical that Michael Moore treated the very people he portrays to protect with the level of decete and disregard that he does.
And, for some of you die-hard MM proponents, before you sign me off, see the movie. You actually just might become one of the best promoters of the flick. Honestly.
I welcome feedback. If you want me to get back to you…I will.
I would like to know where a CD can be ordered of the movie, “Shooting Michael Moore.” Our local library in Alden, MI has all of Moores movies and I want to ask them to order a copy of “Shooting Michael Moore.” I am one of many people who are not going to Carmike Theaters anymore because of their refusal to show this movie. Traverse City is enamored with MM but some of the people who have worked so hard to bring the film festival to where it is now are getting discouraged with MM ways.
Is the movie available on CD yet, if so, where can it be ordered from and also, if not yet available will someone notify me when it is.
Thank you.
Send me your contact/mail information and we will make sure you get one: tazco@hotmail.com
